Things of Earth is a four-piece that started in Mesquite, where a majority of its members reside. But instead of taking the route of being a derivative Slipknot knockoff or a cover band destined to play wallpaper corporate gigs, this band has a thundering sound of twisting post-rock with a metallic punch. Think Pelican by way of Hum and Failure.
They have a second EP, Dangers, on their hands and will celebrate its release this Friday with a free show at the Foundry. We met up with the band and chatted on a windy night in the parking lot of a Plucker's (where else?) to talk about the beginnings of the band, their sound, and how the hell a band like this came from Mesquite.
